Have you ever met anyone who identified as a 'foodie'?

What tea do you like to drink when you've had a bad day with enervating people, /tea/? Why?

OP here, I just had three Taco Bell breakfast burritos. I feel kind of lightheaded. I'm gonna go lay down.

What is the most likely cause of my newly-bought teas not expressing their labeled flavors? I just bought several teas yesterday, and both I have tried didn't have the sub-flavors that were labeled. They both seem to be of high quality (even if they are b*gged), with nice smells and visually decent components. I drank this turmeric tea last night:

Then this Blue Lady tea just now:

I can smell the Blue Lady bag right now, and it has a beautifully floral profile and mild sweetness to it. Yet, I could hardly taste anything like that in my cup. The turmeric tea blend tasted...like turmeric. No rooibos, vanilla, cinnamon, or cardamom.

I'm used to brewing loose leaf in modest quantities, so I'm not sure what I am doing wrong. Is it possibly just temps? Neither was really specific about that, but one is an herbal blend, and the other is a black tea blend. Unrelated, the Blue Lady tea is pretty comfy from a caffeine/L-theanine perspective.
